The problem
Selling everywhere means tax everywhere
Different countries, different rates, different rules. Leave tax out of your profit math and your margin looks healthier than it really is.
Rates differ by market
VAT, GST, and sales tax vary by country and sometimes by destination. One global rate does not reflect reality.
Tax erodes margin quietly
Tax that is collected and remitted is not yours to keep. Ignoring it overstates the profit on every cross-border sale.
Manual tax math is fragile
Applying the right rate to the right orders by hand across many markets is slow and easy to get wrong.
The solution
Configure once, applied everywhere
Define a rate per country and MerchantFlow applies it automatically across the relevant orders, so tax is built into your profit without manual work.
Per-country rates
Set VAT, GST, sales tax, or any rate per country, matched to where you actually sell.
Applied automatically
Rules run across your P&L on their own, so the right rate hits the right orders without a spreadsheet.
Blended effective rate
See your overall tax burden as a single weighted rate, plus the estimated tax for any period.
Honest cross-border margin
With tax in the math, your profit by market reflects what you actually keep after remitting.

FAQ
Tax rules, answered
What tax types can I configure?
You can set per-country rates for VAT, GST, sales tax, and similar, each with the basis that fits the market. MerchantFlow applies them across your P&L automatically.
Is this a tax filing tool?
No. Tax Rules estimates tax inside your P&L so your profit reflects what you collect and remit. It is for understanding margin by market, not for filing returns. Always confirm filings with your accountant.
What is the blended effective rate?
It is your total estimated tax across all markets expressed as a single rate weighted by revenue, so you can see your overall tax burden at a glance.
Can different countries have different rates?
Yes. Each country has its own rule and rate, so a 20% VAT market and a 10% GST market are each handled correctly rather than averaged into one number.
